Brainerd Dunkin' Donuts 'pretty much' a sure thing

The Brainerd City Council unanimously approved zoning variance requests for the potential business, which makes the popular Masschusetts-based coffee and doughnut chain "pretty much a for sure thing" in Brainerd, Dunkin' Donuts Northern Minnesota franchisee Brian Swanson told the Brainerd Dispatch.

Swanson told the newspaper there are a few things to go over, but construction will likely begin in the spring, with the shop opening at 303 West Washington St. (which is also Highway 371 and Highway 210 for those who have cabins Up North) in the summer of 2015.
